Quotes


The deepest hunger of the human soul is to be understood,
To feel heard, to feel validated ...
The deepest hunger of the human body is for air.
If you can listen to another person,
In depth,
 Until they feel understood,
Its the equivalent of giving them air.
 
~~Steven Covey

The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.

-- E. E. Cummings

The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own.

Worry Divides Our Energy
 
The word worry comes from a word that means "to divide".  When you worry, you divide your energy.  Do you worry?  I worry about you if you don't worry!  All of us worry, but we shouldn't.  Jesus commands us half a dozen times, "Do not worry."  When we worry about a situation, the problem gets us instead of us getting it.
 
-- Max Lucado

Be At Peace

You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it for long.
Take the lesson and move forward.

Although the past cannot be changed;
How to shape the future is still in your hands.
